Managing Finances in Tough Times

The Covid-19 pandemic has us all thinking about how to adapt to guidelines to keep our loved ones and ourselves healthy and safe. Added to this stress is the uncertainly about economic conditions and how this may affect our personal finances.

COVID-19 Event Cancellations

Extension La Crosse County is committed to keeping those we serve safe and healthy. In order to keep this commitment, at the directive of UW-Madison Chancellor, Rebecca Blank, all UW Madison events of 50 or more people, including the Division of Extension (including all WI 4-H programs) are cancelled effective immediately (Thursday, March 12, 2020), due to COVID-19, also known as the Corona virus. The health and safety of our participants, presenters, volunteers, and community is our most important priority. Please keep an eye out for any event cancellations that you may have registered for.
